Official Gran Turismo Documentary is in The Works

An official documentary on Sony's racing simulator series Gran Turismo and its architect is in the works, titled 'KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide.'

As outlined in Sony's PlayStation blog, the documentary is being made to celebrate 15 years of Gran Turismo and will follow the "passion and creative drive" of series producer Kazunori Yamauchi.

"This film is about drive. It’s about the passion and creative drive of Kazunori Yamauchi, the architect behind Gran Turismo’s birth and breath-taking fifteen-year evolution. This film will trace his relentless willingness to challenge himself, to hold none of his past achievements sacred, and push beyond the virtual divide in his pursuit of perfection. Through the support of PlayStation, Kaz’s journey has forever changed the gaming and automotive landscape and in doing so, has redefined how we perceive the relationship between art, entertainment and culture."

No release date or distribution information was revealed alongside the announcement, but you can check out the rather sensational trailer for KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide below.
